Shanghai, Manchuria, and the Political Backdrop in Night Raid 1931
The setting is not decoration. Shanghai gives the early episodes a cosmopolitan spy-story texture: restaurants, foreign communities, intelligence contacts, and rival agencies. Manchuria shifts the tone toward occupation, puppet-state politics, the Mukden Incident, and the fear that supernatural foreknowledge can be weaponized by people already chasing power.
